Time to use the paper, time to make the layouts!

I was trying to use the Dunkin Donuts reference:)  Time to make the donuts.  Anyway, I have gathered so many paper products its ridiculous.  During the holidays while shopping, I would be like "OH look at that pretty paper, I so should buy it as a gift to myself"  Well this got out of control and before you knew it, I had tons of new things to put away and to finally use.  I cannot see new paper and products just sitting around and gathering dust, so it feels good to break them out and use them. That is their purpose, right?  

     

During the holidays I also picked up a heat gun and a few embossing powders.  I now love embossing, especially on my layouts.  In this layout I used some red glitter embossing powder for the roses that are behind the picture.  I have a thing for layouts that have the image in the middle and all the embellishments pretty much growing out of the image. So pretty.  I love the way this one came out.

I have to say it feels good to get everything out, make something that you feel good about, something you know that is going into someone's album for them to keep for hopefully a long time(everything is acid free:)

More to share next time!!!
